I'm notorious for running late, snoozing the alarm clock until I absolutely have to wake up, and yes, forgetting my dear friends' birthdays. I came across this cool little web based tool called Wakerupper. It's a telephone reminder service that calls you to remind you of important todo's (and I love todo lists) or you can use it for a simple wake up call with something really motivating to get your morning going. Sure you can set your phone to to go off at a specific time and you see it flashing while ringing the little alarm bell. It's kind of annoying, just as much as your alarm clock is every morning.
The cool part of this, is it calls you when you set the time and date. When you answer, it's a recorded voice that repeats the information you typed on the website. A nice little wake up call with "GET UP SLACKER!", "TODAY IS THE GOING TO BE THE START OF THE BEST DAYS TO COME!", "MCDONALD'S IS GRILLIN' UP EGGS AND PANCAKES FOR YOU!", or "IT IS NOW 9:01 AM" (When it's really 8:01) *winks*.
I just tested it out to see if it really worked - nothing like creating a reminding call and it never calls. I scheduled a call for 1:45am and typed in the message: "Go get some Gatorade Jen". It called me at 1:45am on the dot with the caller ID of: 8887792537. I answered and politely said, "Greetings". A nice male voice came on and said, "Go get some Gatorade Jen."
And I did.
Cool part: it's Free. Not much in life is free, so I relish things like this. You can see how it can help you with day to day tasks. It can remind you of meetings, flights, anniversaries, birthdays, dr. appointments, tasks, and other things that are important to you.
There is also a beta version that includes:
Voice reminders
Snooze (love it...love it)
Recurring calls
Unlimited reminders
So to wrap up - this is a cool tool that is of no cost, a useful tool, fairly entertaining and I'm sure you can think of how it can help you.
The name of the site is cute, Wakerupper. Maybe they should have another version called, Wakemupper, with a sweet female voice for the reminder calls.

About Me - Jen
- starryjgal
- Hmmm, my true passions.... I have a strong passion for games on the felt, billards and poker. It's the mental part of both that challenges me (no matter how much I play them). *smiles* There's days that I stare at the pool table and see a pool table, balls arranged in a set pattern, and am confident that my cue is a perfectly straight stick that is on auto pilot. Other times I look at the table and see an ocean with pebbles everywhere, and swear that I see little gleaming fish that are moving those pebbles for me. My cue feels like an ill-behaved eel, and it takes considerable effort on my part just to have any sort of control.

Yeah, it was Peter's birthday on Wednesday and he moped around all day, saying "Jen never called... she never called... she never called" like a million times.

See, Peterman's (as you know who from Cali would call him) phone was busy ALL day. He's a superstar and I was not able to get through to his line...all I heard was, "All circuits are busy, please try again." Too many people were calling him...
